Implement prompt engineering, prompt/version management, structured outputs, function/tool calling, and multimodal AI use cases.

Integrate AI capabilities into existing enterprise applications and workflows

Stakeholder Engagement: Work with Product Owners and business teams to translate requirements into technical solutions.

Collaborate with AI Architects to implement approved solution designs and raise design feedback from the engineering perspective.

3+ years working with cloud-native / Azure technologies.

Strong hands-on experience with AI/ML or Generative AI solutions; demonstrated LLM/RAG application delivery.

Experience leading AI engineering teams through design, development, testing, and deployment.

Experience managing delivery of AI programs and taking solutions from PoC through enterprise production deployment.

Strong experience troubleshooting complex application/integration issues

Experience working directly with architects, customers, and business stakeholders.
